Who's Brilliant Idea was it to Despawn Engineering Blueprints.

[kingsbishop7]

WTF, how was a stupid idea like this implemented? HLL doesn't despawn Ammo or Explosive Boxes, Med Boxes, Supply Boxes for a reason. Hmmm, must be cuz Engineering Blueprints are just special or maybe cuz they are green and get lost in the foliage. That must be it...

So the engineer works his Arse off under fire (is Killed several times) to build blueprint for a bunker/barrier/barbwire what ever, and there are no supplies because no one wants to run a Support Role. Redeploys and the Brilliant Designers of HLL have decided that kind of action “Offends Their Since of Play” and is somehow unfair, WTF. This is a special kind of disconnect with the player base. This bring me to question whether there are some who are intently trying to hurt this game.

Ask me how I figured this out?

If an Engineer wishes to build something, they simply need to ensure that supplies are made available before placing the blueprint down, lest it despawn before they can build it again.

This is something that many of us asked for when we realised just how bad it was at the time. I'm very glad they actually listened to this feedback.

Fine. Remove the blueprints and just let the engineer build the thing. This is still a special kind of disconnect with the player base.

A lot of people also asked for a construction mode when equipping the hammer to hide the blueprints, and also for the old blueprint to despawn when placing a new/newer one of the same type.

Instead they opted for universally visible blueprints which despawn most fo the time before you can build them up usually from a lack of support players.

I'm not exactly certain, but the despawning might be needed to free up unconsumed resources

They forced Blueprints on us a while back. Now they Despawn them what in the HLL is next.

I'm just... really not seeing an issue here.

[★ Smokes, Let's Go Ψ]

The community hounded the devs to put a time limit on the blueprints.

So what do you do about the Title/Actual Post Case. Remember, "They forced Blueprints on us a while back. Now they Despawn them what in the HLL is next."

What in The Hell Let Loose is going on here?!!!

You've never played as Engineer then.

Hmmm. actually I think i am in the top 1% of the player base.

P.S. If this post was not directed am me, my apologies then.

He's saying I've never played engineer.

And anyone who says they're in the top player base, I just shake my head. A 158 no less. Honestly.

Just replace the blueprints if they've disappeared and you're actually ready/able to build it.

I miss read the post and Edited a P.S. on my previous post...

[pipi long stocking]

i play engineer often, and i support the decision the devs made on this particular subject.

still think the anti tank gun should be cheaper though.

still think upgrades to buildables should also be cheaper.

still think that the node system needs some tweaking

[kingsbishop7]

OK. it appears to get even weirder. Blueprints of Nodes don't despawn, but the other engineering structures do. This despawning some Blueprints is just a disconnect from reason for the players now.

[Snork]

Nodes are vital to the team, and their presence being visible alerts players to the need for supplies at that location.

Engineer's structures are useful, but not even arguably necessary.
